It has 10 'overseas chapter' in different countries of the world, namely: Australia , Kuwait, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, United Arab Emirates and the United States .[1] It formed the Board of Accreditation for Engineering and Technical Education (BAETE) which holds the accreditation of engineering faculties in Bangladesh.[2]

History

After the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, the Institution of Engineers, Pakistan was renamed as the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh, which was founded in 1948, after the end of the British colonial rule in the Indian subcontinent; with its headquarters at Dhaka in Bangladesh.[3]

Around the 1947, a number of senior engineers took initiative to establish a forum of engineers in profession. Soon after, it got its foundation stone laid on 7 May 1948, at Ramna in Dhaka city.

IEB has seven divisions within it. They are:[4]

  • Agriculture Engineering Division
  • Chemical Engineering Division
  • Civil Engineering Division
  • Computer Engineering Division (established in 2011)[5]
  • Electrical Engineering Division
  • Mechanical Engineering Division
  • Textile Engineering Division

Organs

IEB has four independent organs within it. They are:[4]

  • Board of Accreditation for Engineering and Technical Education[6]
  • Bangladesh Professional Engineers Registration Board
  • Engineering Staff College Bangladesh
  • Occupational Safety Board of Bangladesh

Membership

Every professional engineer of Bangladesh is invited to join the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB). As of 2020, it has over 41,500 members.[7]

IEB membership has three categories – Fellowship, Membership and Associate Membership. These categories are based on the experience of the member in the engineering field.

Members of all three categories are entitled to use the title "Engr." before their names.

Board of Accreditation for Engineering and Technical Education (BAETE)

Board of Accreditation for Engineering and Technical Education (BAETE)[8] is a non-governmental body that provides accreditation for engineering programs within the jurisdiction of Bangladesh. It operates as an independent and autonomous agency of the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB).

BAETE represents the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh, a provisional signatory[9] of Washington Accord, an international accreditation agreement for undergraduate professional engineering academic degrees. BAETE is also a full member of Network of Accreditation Bodies for Engineering Education in Asia (NABEEA).[10] BAETE also represents IEB in The Federation of Engineering Institutions of Asia and the Pacific (FEIAP).[11]
